Published: 11 February, 2016

Methven, a global designer and manufacturer of premium showers and tapware, has strengthened its UK sales team with the addition of three national account managers.

Following the opening of its new UK head office and showroom in late 2015, Methven has strengthened its national account team and made key appointments to further reinforce its support for customers across the UK. James Duncan has been appointed national account manager for specifiers, Lee Head joins as national account manager for national merchants, along with James Gibbard who is responsible for buying groups.

Mr Duncan brings with him six years’ experience within the bathroom industry, joining the company from Kohler, and is tasked with growing the Methven brand in new build, commercial and education sectors. Mr Head joins from Redring Xpelair, and is now working to strengthen Methven’s merchant network across the UK. Mr Gibbard arrives from the FMCG sector, and he is responsible for building Methven’s presence in buying groups.

Bristan has announced the appointment of two new regional sales managers, in a move to further enhance the expertise of its specification team. The decision reflects the company’s reinvigorated focus on specification market growth and follows the recent formation of a multi-specialised team across multiple sectors.
